Going Global: The UX Connections Team Takes Dubai!

We are more than excited to announce that this coming November, the UX Connections team will be taking a trip across the globe to Dubai! An international hub known for its futuristic architecture and never-ending innovation, we are so excited to experience everything Dubai has to offer as a team. So, here’s the first post in our Down in Dubai: UX Inspirations series!

With its forward-thinking focus, Dubai is commonly referred to as ‘the city of the future’. At its core is a thirst for innovation and technological growth, which explains why the city boasts a thriving community of startups. Ranking number one globally for foreign direct investment (FDI) and technology transfer in the AI and robotics sectors, Dubai has established itself as a must-visit for tech investors and developers. 

On its way to becoming a completely ‘smart city’, Digital Dubai, established by the ruler and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, works to transform Dubai into an intelligent, personalised experience for its dwellers. Since its inception, the Smart Dubai Office has launched over 130 initiatives in partnership with government and private sector entities. 

As a UX company ourselves, with a keen interest in technology development, we anticipate this trip to be one of our best yet. Our team of consultants are eager to learn from the innovation hub that is Dubai, and see first hand how they’re propelling themselves into the future, whilst still existing in the present. 

Keep a lookout on our website and social media for upcoming content related to our trip, we’re discussing topics such as: what we expect to see in Dubai; Dubai Design Week 2022; the user experience of the Emirates A380; how the Middle East is becoming a hub for innovation; and so, so much more!
